Baby Bluebirds Are Amazingly Cute

I didn’t see these little birds’ parents when I came upon them near the old barn. They appeared to have some sense of security to be with each other. Still, when they flew to a tree about 100 feet from where I encountered them perched on an old fence, they were calling out. I can only assume they were hoping Mom or Dad would show up with a tasty worm.

I did observe one of the youngsters hunting from the top of Birdhouse “I.” Perhaps they were fledged from that location. It’s likely that the parents have regrouped and are building a new nest in order to have their second (maybe even third) brood for the season. Even during that phase, I have seen adults keeping their chicks close, and even offering them a snack on occasion.

I’m hoping they will do well and make it through the deep winter weather so that, perhaps, they will return to start their own families next Spring!
